According to information from Progress, the striker Watford, Troy Deeney, would have been proposed to theAS Saint-Etienne on the last day of transfer window. A profile that would not have been retained by Claude Puel, probably due to the age (32) of the English striker, and the uncertainty as to his adaptation to the League 1.
Yet a player like Troy Deeney could have brought scam on the front of the Stéphane attack. Author of 133 goals and 59 assists under the colors of Watford, Deeney is a hard worker who does not mind the task when it comes to defending.
Even in case of agreement of Puel, the salary of 3.2 million euros per season of Troy Deeney would probably have blocked any negotiations, however.
